"A U.S. Senator admits to seeing prostitutes. Talk about suporting a surge."

"Then, Michael Chertoff warns we might be under attack by all sorts of Islamic terrorists this summer. Like I say, it's not the heat, it's the Hamas."

"Plus, I sit down with Smithsonian ant expert Mark Moffett. He doesn't know it, but I'm bringing a magnifying glass."

Well, well, well. We meet again. Only this time, it is I who have my own television show. This is The Colbert Report.
